In 390 AD, a popular chariot racer made a homosexual advance on a Roman general. The general had no tolerance for this and threw him in jail.
Understand that Roman chariot racing teams ('factions') and their fans make Euro soccer hooligans look like picnic enjoyers. Naturally, they broke the racer out of jail and lynched the general.
Also understand that Roman legions make modern police (and military for that matter) look like high-school guidance counselors. Over 7000 died in the ensuing carnage.
